Tom Hardy's unexpected MobLand exit is reportedly set to cost millions as Paramount+ bosses face re-shooting scenes. The British actor, 48, was fired from the Guy Ritchie production following a 'furious bust-up' with producers last week as they completed filming on series two. Now producers must drastically change the second series finale, which is virtually complete, as Tom won't be returning to play gangster fixer Harry Da Souza alongside co-stars Pierce Brosnan and Dame Helen Mirren. 'The role is pivotal to the story, so he can't just disappear in season three — there has to be some sort of explanation for his absence,' an insider told The Sun. 'That means they will have to alter the end of the second series, which has only just been made — and that will cost millions in extra time spent developing, filming and editing.'It's not clear if Tom will even return to film any new scenes, or whether the producers are just going to have to be incredibly creative in tying up the second series. And then they've got to start thinking about the overwhelming prospect of delivering series three.'
